    Ok so I started on a Ice shack frame today! going 8X 18 and still havent really figured out my suspension..

    I want to go hydraulic. going to use same type pump on my dump trailer works in winter just as good as summer!@

    Im planning only one set of wheeles so I need to figure out the suspension.

    I got a few Ideas but havent really nailed it down yet..

    if you guys might have some ideas or even photos of something that would be rugged enough.. this will also be a toy hauler..

    thanx in advance!

    make sure you have a way to manually crank it down too.

    Not sure your location but Quality trailer in Freeport MN will sell just the axle. They sell the axle you want, but they aren’t cheap thinking like 1200 or something last I checked. You could buy a standard torsion axle for about 500 cut arms off buy 2 pieces of flat cold rolled steel mill the square hole saw the spindles out (every attention to detail required on them parts, likeness and pitch) and weld back together. I did that worked great but I’d just pay the extra money next time.
